  1. The number of exposures was dependent on the success of the tag and the length of the deployment. Exposures during descent, bottom phase, and ascent are the subset of exposures used for analysis in each respective phase, split by shallow (<100 m) and deep (>100 m) exposures. Surface exposures were excluded from analysis
